Lagoon 42, Bilby

“Through our travels, we’ve met other Lagoon 42 owners who bought their boat through other brokers (overseas)… You don’t know how good you’ve got it until you meet someone who got much less. A big thank you! Everything we wanted on the boat was delivered. Everything works & we were shown how it works. Any failures are ours due lack of familiarity or faulty memory.” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Lagoon 50, Themis

Lagoon 42, Sabella

“”Lagoons are boldly angular in shape, and we thought that was fantastic. It creates that space inside and looks great on the outside. And the sailing performance for a production catamaran … is very very good.

When we arrived in Les Sables-d’Olonne John had this rockstar entrance… surreal does not even begin to describe how it felt.” ” – Aaron and Lara Jones – Lagoon 42, Sabella

“A big tick to TMG… They’ve been fantastic with their support, if we’ve had any issues we get in touch with them and they go out of their way to help us so they’ve made buying this boat in Europe such a pleasant experience and yeah, I’ll give them a 10 out of 10, it’s been great… If you’re going to buy a Lagoon buy it from TMG. ” – Liz and Rob – Lagoon 42, Bilby

Antics on the Flybridge

“It’s very very easy, so much space, we just had 4 couples for 5 days, it was very chilled out and relaxed.

The flybridge is such a big beautiful place with a view, its elevated and we put permanent clears around ours so you can use it anytime, day or night, windy or raining, it doesn’t matter. You can sit up there have lunch, have dinner. We call it the first class lounge, you can’t go wrong.” – Anthony and Seryn Ryan – Lagoon 630MY, Antics

Lagoon 42 Owner Review

“I couldn’t fault the TMG network and what we were able to do and how everyone was easy to get on with. The actual handover period… was fantastic. We sat on the boat for the first day and went through everything. It was a great learning experience, and then out sailing the next day. Making sure everything worked properly. It was a fantastic thing to do and I can’t speak highly enough about that actual process.” Paul Brown – Lagoon 42

Happy Lagoon 46 owners

Very happy with our clears, solar arch, Weber BBQ platform and tender setup. We can’t thank TMG enough for their support in getting Arena ready for our family sailing adventures.” – Dean Robertson, Lagoon 46 Owner.

Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

“We love our Lagoon, we’ve been out in some pretty tough conditions and it’s always brought us home safe, it’s fantastic under sail and great at anchor so we absolutely love our boat.

Our favourite thing about our boat is the places it can take us, we get to see a lot of the east coast that most people can only imagine to see and to be able to access it with a boat it’s just fantastic.” – Matt Doncan – Lagoon 400S2, Espresso

Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

“Greg and Sue Harding created and monitor the Lagooned in Oz Facebook Community and are vital and enthusiastic Lagoon owners.

The pair have owned numerous Lagoons and love their current Lagoon 440. – Greg and Sue Harding” – Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer

Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

There is more enjoyment in a sailboat in that the enjoyment is in the journey as much as it’s in the destination. That to me makes it a totally different experience.

The advantage of a flybridge to me is the fact you are that much higher off the surface of the water, you can get better vision all around, a greater sense of being on-top of the whole thing and I do enjoy being out in the sun most of the time.” – Jeff D’Albora – Lagoon 52F, Infinity II

Just do it! A European Launch Story

“We looked around quite a bit, and investigated the opposition! The 42ft is the right size for us, and she has a good feel when under sail. The combination of layout and space was just what we were looking for. Importantly, the Lagoon 42 sails well short handed. The 42 is a very, very nice boat. I’d be hard pressed to fault it,” said Drew.

Why life is better lived on a Lagoon

Greg and Sue Harding, owners of a magnificent Lagoon 440, Blue Pointer, are the first to admit they are Lagoon tragics. “Our love affair with Lagoon started from day one, even though our first Lagoon was really a project boat.”

Paul Rogers is one of the founders of Lagooned in Oz “…the best thing about our lifestyle is not the boat or location, it’s the people. There is a whole community of Lagoon owners, and the Lagoon events have connected us with so many wonderful people.” – Paul Rogers, Moor RnR

Lagoon 380 Seabreeze

David and Nerida Lee have been living aboard and sailing their Lagoon 380 for years, speaking highly of Lagoon as a brand and their on water lifestyle.

Ticketyboo delivered

“The entire TMG team were really good. In the initial stages, John gave great advice and helped spec the boat, looking back it was all very valuable… From our first enquiry, through specification, order, to delivery and after-sales, TMG have been terrific to deal with. Ordering our Lagoon 40 was no small decision and a perfect delivery reassured us from the start,” Mike Pain.

Fall in love with the Flybridge

“I love the air on the flybridge, the overview when going into anchorages, harbours etc. Its’ like standing on the bridge of my own little ship.” Says Martin.

Sailing Sabella – A Lagoon 42 Adventure

“I wanted a big, spacious saloon that you could see through for transparency. I wanted it to feel like a home, like a floating apartment. I thought regarding the kids, on the 42 specifically, we can steer the boat from here on the same level, it’s not a separate area … and the entire thing can be enclosed without it being a visual and physical barrier,” said Lara.

Waters Family Update

‘Lagoons are perfect as a live-aboard option. They have plenty of room, everyone in the family has their own space. Tyler can be off in her room, Max on the trampoline burning off energy, Darren keeping on top of the maintenance. The boat never feels cramped,” says Kristy.

“Living the dream” on board a Lagoon 380

Every day is magical when you’re living on board. Take this morning, for example … the water was like a millpond, delivering a special sunrise. This was the view from our cabin as we woke up. We chose the 380 for her spacious interior. She’s super easy to sail, well suited for the two of us to live and work on board comfortably and she has plenty of indoor and outdoor living areas,” Said owners, Justin and Kelly.

Lagoon 39, Zephyr

“Ross was super – he went through everything.

We’ve never had that; going through everything was a huge positive.” – Graeme and Linda Hubbard – Lagoon 39, Zephyr

“I think it’s a fascinating and great way to live … so many people put things off until retirement and then can’t achieve their dream when they get there.

I’m happy with my choice.

It stretches you a bit and you juggle a lot of things, but with good people like the team at TMG, you can follow your dream.” – Drew Hakin, Adèle 1

Wonderful memories sailing Sabella

“From our 6 months onboard, there are so many personal highlights. From a sailing and cruising perspective, I can hardly put our time in the Balearics into words. Formentera in particular, some of the anchorages there once the crowds had gone for the day were absolutely stunning. Seeing our young girls develop was something special.”

A truly unique Sailaway adventure

Steve is as passionate about Lagoon and Sailaway offers people access to a ‘wow factor’ as part of their holiday – “It’s in reach for people to enjoy a bit of that business class feel with their friends and family, in an everyday way. With the Lagoon, we can live out our passions for sailing, nature and the environment. I have had confidence in Lagoon from the moment I first stepped aboard.”

Cruising adventures onboard El Gato

“The comfort is just amazing. When we were in rough seas sitting in the cockpit in the monohull, we could touch the water. But in the cat, you’re sitting on top of the flybridge – with 2m following seas – she’s solid, she’s stable, she’s just fantastic in the water,” said Lagoon 440 owners.

Sailing Sabella April Update

Lagoon 42 owner Aaron tells us “…living on Sabella is wonderful. Whilst much smaller than an Australian house, we each have our own space and it doesn’t feel cramped.”

Home sweet home is a Lagoon 420

Bob and Margaret Kennedy have called their Lagoon 420 home for 6 years, “We thought it was terrific. In comparison, our other boat was ‘camping’, but this was ‘home’. We found a little-used boat in very good condition – we lucked out with the perfect boat.”

The Jones Family heads for warmer climates

“There are so many wonderful memories from this short time at sea – sunsets, dolphins, peaceful night watches – this way of life is just spectacular and really feels right for our family. We pinch ourselves each day and wonder when we’ll wake up from the dream,” Lagoon 42 owners the Jones family.

Is this the best Lagoon 450 ever?

This Lagoon 450F was Johns 3rd out of 4 Lagoons “You want to buy a production boat, built in a factory in series. You get a properly designed and built boat. Compared to other 40ft boats a 40ft Lagoon will have the most volume. A signature of Lagoon is its vertical windows. The advantages are you have ample headspace in the saloon, plenty of light and 360 degree views, whilst keeping the sun out.”

The Jones Family take delivery of their new 42

“We’re in Les Sables-d’Olonne and we’re taking the boat out for a test sail and I’m floating on a cloud, I’ve got no idea what’s going on! It’s the most stunning day – in January no less! The weather was fine and the wind almost calm, but regardless she made 3 knots in 5 knots of breeze. What a clever little thing she is!”

HAPPY DAYS ON ZEPHYR

“As soon as we got onboard, we were sold— the sliding doors were brilliant, the big glass window right by the kitchen sink—it was just like an apartment,” said Lagoon 39 owners.

PACIFIC HIGHLIGHTS WITH THE WATERS FAMILY

With only limited yachting experience between Darren and Kristy, their Lagoon 500 is fortunately “very user friendly and it was easy to pick up”. To anyone considering following their lead, Kristy is quite clear — “Do it!”

Don McIntyre- A Lifetime of Global Adventure

Don McIntyre, Global Adventurer and Explorer, Life in Tonga with his Lagoon 450, Golden Globe, Royal Yacht Club Nomuka. Don describes the boat as “perfect, fantastic, incredible”— this “is the most fun” and “living on-board is like an apartment on the water”.

The liveaboard life Lagoon style

The Atkinsons love their catamaran. They had the design in mind for 20 years, and even though they weren’t actively looking, when they saw the Lagoon 400, they found the exact layout they had been dreaming of.

LAGOON 52F – HANDOVER COMPLETE!

Working with TMG was a positive experience for John and Tania, “the team were always on hand and did everything they could for them throughout the process,” said the Lagoon 52 owners.

Lagoon 42 modified for quadriplegic sailor

‘When you’re in a wheelchair there’s a lot of places you never see or you can’t get to. They’re just not accessible. Yesterday when we were out we sailed past some of those places that I have never seen before,’ Cliff said. For many sailors the freedom of the sea is one of the attractions. For Cliff, it’s life changing.

BOAT TEST: NEW LAGOON 46 (WITH GALLERY)

Lagoon yachts is the market leader when it comes to cruising catamarans and their new 46 sits plumb in  the middle of the range. claire mahon takes it for a spin..

After almost 1,000 units sold, Lagoon is replacing their classic Lagoon 450 model with the new Lagoon 46. While the 450 may be a tough act to follow, the 46 benefits from the yard’s innovative construction techniques and years of feedback from dealers and owners. With a larger sail plan and updated design, the 46 looks poised to take top place in the hearts of both owners and charter users.

(Review continues below gallery – scroll down)

Lagoon has been building catamarans for too long to make a false move. That’s why when the management felt that their tried and true 450 model, long a cruising favourite and a winner of transatlantic events such as the ARC, was getting near retirement age they went back to a team that has designed many successful models for them: Nauta Design for interiors and VPLP Design with Patrick le Quément for naval architecture and exteriors. Why change the players when the team gets such good results?

We speak with Nauta Design’s Massimo Gino about his work with Lagoon: “Along with the many custom superyacht projects we do, we have been collaborating with the Beneteau Group since 2005. When we were asked to do a new Lagoon to replace the best selling 450 at first we thought- mission impossible. How can you improve on a legend? But then we asked ourselves: ‘What makes a catamaran a Lagoon?’ Thinking about market perception of the brand, we thought about its important heritage of style, function and dependability. Lagoon catamarans are known to be solid, seaworthy and excellent for family use. While these are the core values, technology never stays still and we knew that with recent advances in hull shapes and building techniques and materials we would be able to update and upgrade some features of the 450 to create a 46 that really would be an improvement on the legend.

Homely minimalism

“While family and friends are key ingredients of the Lagoon formula, our recent projects for them have upped the level of luxury. We thought that this was the direction the 46’ should move in too; we wanted to introduce new comforts while leaving the best ‘Lagoon’ values of solidity and saftey intact,” Gino says. “VPLP’s stylish new exterior design added some spaces to work with and we used every centimetre to improve on a boat, the 450, that was already perfect in many ways.

“When you think ‘Lagoon’ you think ‘family’ and you think ‘home,” Gino continues. “We call the look aboard the 46 ‘homely minimalism.’ To achieve it we used the same styling and materials we used aboard our recent Lagoon launches, the 50 and the 77: walnut and larch woods in a chocolate brown and cream palette with warm, soft contrasts. We also used indirect lighting so that spaces have suffused, relaxing light that is balanced and evenly distributed. In this interior beauty and comfort meet space and light to create luxury, it’s not about flashy materials.”

Boarding the 46 in La Rochelle, France, close to where Lagoon has is production lines, the sense of openness is surprising. “We thought hard about the perception of available space,” says Gino. “Décor and style are important, but light and views are also key. Window size and height open up sightlines and let a space breathe.”

The wraparound windows in the saloon make the space seem huge and the aft guest cockpit can be lived as a continuous unit with the saloon thanks to windows and doors that slide open wide. The cockpit has a couch, a foldout portside table with adjustable banquette seating and a lounging area starboard. Add to these the living area in the saloon with L shaped couches and a pouf and more than room for a family, you’ll find there’s room for a crowd. ”We designed the “J” shaped galley next to the cooking station in the aft cockpit so that serving is fast and easy and everything that you need is close at hand,” continues Gino. “With the deck and the floor on the same level the whole area becomes a unit where movement between indoors and outdoors flows easily.” Passing food and dishes between the cockpit and the galley is easy thanks to slide back windows at counter top level and there is even the option for an opening window fore in the saloon, a clever touch that puts the large foredeck lounging area into easy communication with the galley and the rest of the boat.

If the foredeck aboard the Lagoon 46 is no longer an isolated spot, sometimes it is nice to have your own private refuge aboard. This is why the cabins aboard the 46 are all comfortable, with large island beds, excellent natural light and ventilation and en suite facilities with large showers. “We designed different cabin layouts to offer a range of options. In the three-cabin version the owners have the luxury of the entire starboard hull for themselves with a double bed, lots of storage and a toilet space that is separate from the shower. All cabins get lots of natural light and air through hatches and large hull windows with opening portholes. And since connectivity is a part of life that owners don’t want to give up even when they’re at sea, the owner’s cabin has an office space and the saloon and all of the cabins have USB connections,” concludes Gino. Which is a nice touch, but it might make it a bit harder to convince children that a sailing vacation is a necessary digital detox.

Enhanced performance

Liveability is an important element of a catamaran-based experience, but it’s only part of the picture; while some Lagoons are used for easy-going island hopping, there are also many owners who want performance. Seeing how Lagoon cats are fixtures at events such as the ARC, naval architects VPLP Design concentrated on improving performance when designing the 46. “The challenge was to create a ‘better boat’ than the 450, so we concentrated on performance and seaworthiness. We brought our years of experience in designing top racing boats to this project to find the perfect balance between speed, autonomy, reliability and ease of use,” says Vincent Lauriot Prèvost, co-founder of VPLP. “By positioning the mast a bit further aft, at 53% of the hull length, we created a good ratio of hull length to displacement speed that also reduces pitching.  This was a structural challenge because the mast doesn’t rest on a partition wall.” In fact, it rests on a slender mirrored column that aligns with a side of the dining table at the centre of the saloon, a solution that leaves the space wide open and airy and offers some performance advantages too as Prèvost explains: “When we designed boats with masts resting on a partition wall, self-tacking jibs were actually too small and very difficult to operate. By moving the mast further back and increasing the headsail’s LP, we get more a powerful headsail, especially when combined with a self-tacking jib. We are confident that this new sail structure performs better than the rigging arrangement we used in the past.”

The Lagoon 46’s 140.1 square meter sail plan sees the mainsail mounted on a shorter canoe boom for easier manoeuvring. “The mainsail’s aspect ratio is slightly better than that of Lagoon 450 but the performance gain is much higher,” adds Prèvost. Owners can chose a square topped main and a FlatWinder powered block for the traveller. The furling jib is self-tacking for easy upwind sailing and the forward triangle is large to allow owners a choice of downwind sails. “We were aiming for a cruising speed of nine to fourteen knots and have been very happy with the results,” says Prèvost. “Thanks to improvements in construction techniques we have also been able to keep the 46’s weight down: it’s only slightly more heavy that the 450 even though the sail plan is larger.” But now it’s time to put the cat to the test.

While a comfortably outfitted catamaran has a way of calling sun and fun to mind, the day’s conditions aren’t exactly Caribbean. We leave port under a chilly Atlantic drizzle and just eight knots of breeze. Even though these conditions are not ideal for a good run on the water, we get the sails up easily and tack at the press of a button. It’s easy to imagine two couples or even a couple with children handling the boat in perfect safety. Our performance is not bad at all; if anything it’s the weather that could use a little improvement. For those used to a monohull’s heel, sailing a cruising catamaran at almost any speed will feel a bit flat footed, but there is something to say for stability, especially if you’re vacationing and want to chill more than to be challenged.

Uncomplicated sail handling

Moving around the 46 is as easy as it is to get her sailing. The centrally placed flybridge helming station has access points both from the aft cockpit and from the starboard deck. Even in the cloud, visibility is excellent and the deck layout, with winches and locks that are all close at hand, is perfect for carefree, uncomplicated sail handling. Even the windlass can be controlled remotely from the flybridge.

But this area is something more than just a helm station: in keeping with the 46’s vocation for fun in company the flybridge also has large sun pads aft of the helm seat meaning that helming won’t necessarily be a lonely experience. The whole area can be shaded by a spray hood or a rigid bimini and there are even thoughtful touches like drinks holders close at hand.

Patrick le Quément, former head of design at Renault, designed the 46’s pure, linear look with vertical lines that combine strength and finesse. “In association with VPLP our desire was to increase the emotional impact of Lagoon catamarans, giving them greater charm to accompany the technological innovations that have made the brand an archetype. We worked to create an atmosphere that would be equally harmonious indoors and out and I think that we have created the perfect link between interior and exterior,” he says.

Excellent living spaces, secure solidity, sailing performance and easy connection between interior and exterior are all wonderful features, but what really makes a seafaring vacation special is safe and easy access to the water. This the 46 provides: there are just three wide and easy to use steps that lead down from the aft cockpit to the water and for the tender, owners have the option of choosing a conventional davit or a hydraulic Tenderlift platform. Those that chose the platform option have the added advantage of an extra living space at the stern when the tender is launched on top of the already generous aft cockpit space.

Lagoon catamarans may be produced in series but, as the saying goes, they break the mould. Potential owners can rest assured that in the 46 they are buying a well-tested and carefully thought out catamaran that benefits from the experience gained in building the 450 while adding technological and design features that make it the evolution of the species. With subtle tweaks like USB connectivity and more luxurious styling, the 46 has what it takes to accommodate the needs of a modern family. And with a more powerful sail plan and lighter construction techniques, the 46 will be a joy to sail whether you chose to island hop or to cross an ocean.

Claire’s verdict:

When you decide that it’s time to pack it in and take the family out to sea, the Lagoon 46 is a cat that will give you the freedom you want. And when Lagoon decides that it is time to literally break the mould that has been used to produce almost 1,000 Lagoon 450’s they are ready with the 46, a catamaran that has everything it will take to make her extremely popular predecessor a fond memory from the past.

If you are searching for a catamaran with amazing sailing performance and enough space for you and your friends, be sure to check out the Lagoon 46. Find out why she should be your holiday yacht in Yacht4Less’s comprehensive review below.

A sailing holiday is all about that special and liberating feeling. That is why the interior of the Lagoon 46 is very open, making you feel as if you are one with the ocean. Lagoon promises to keep designing catamarans with bright saloons and 360 panoramic views so you can enjoy the colorful scenery wherever you are on board.

The U-shaped galley was designed so that socializing with friends at the aft cockpit while cooking is very easy. The galley comes with a 4 burner stove, dishwasher, lots of storage, and most importantly, enough refrigerators to keep all of your food and drinks coolled. Did you know that the Lagoon 46 has also got a sliding large front window which allows you to easily pass on drinks to friends at the bow as well?

The cabins are very spacious, offering more than enough storage for all belongings. One of the many beautiful and new characteristics which this catamaran model offers is that all beds (in both aft and bow cabins) are the same size - queen beds.

She is a 5-star hotel floating on water. No matter which version you choose (3 or 4 cabin version), each cabin has its own bathroom and toilet.

The 3 cabin owners version has an enormous owner's cabin on the starboard side, with 2 same size cabins on the port side. The 4 cabin version has 4 large cabins.

We decided to divide the exterior into 3 parts and give you a walkthrough of each. These are the places you will mostly be staying at while on board, so let's get into detail:

• Flybridge - the bench seat is large enough for the skipper and guests to be together while sailing. The wide cushions on the flybridge can be transformed into a seating or tanning area, making this area very customizable. The views from up here are the best, so if you are looking for the best place to relax on board, it would most definitely be there. 
• Bow cockpit - typical for a Lagoon catamaran, you will find the nets connecting the two hulls of the boat. With a large seating area for socializing, there is a newly added small coffee table where you can enjoy a glass of wine when anchored in a relaxing and calm bay. 

Even though she is a 46, the overall length is just under 46’, 45'11'' (13.99m). Her beam is 7.96m and her draft is 1.35m. This allows for anchoring in more shallow waters closer to the beach. This model is often equipped with a watermaker, in which case guests do not have to stress about water at all. She can accommodate up to 12 people so the size of the water tanks (2x300l) is more than sufficient. With 2 fuel tanks, each holding up to 520l of fuel, guests are spared of searching for fuel stations during their holiday as enough fuel fits for a weeks worth of sailing. 

The Lagoon 46 has 2 single cabins at the bow which can be used by the crew (skipper and hostess or cook), or a small child. Find out more about skippered charters , and fully crewed charters . If you prefer to sail with a professional crew, Yacht4Less can help you find your charter crew. 

As she is lighter than her predecessors, she is able to reach higher speeds. Under power with the standard 2x57 HP engines, she can go up to 8.5 knots if you really push her. Usually you will go up to 7 knots and will still be able to enjoy the noticeable quieter engines. 

Under sails, she can go up to 13 knots. Lagoon 46 has the mast moved backwards towards the aft, allowing for more stable and less rocky sailing, minimizing the ‘‘up-and-down’ feeling. As she is a big and powerful catamaran, sailing is made easier with her self tacking jib. 

Depending on the time of year, charter prices range from €5400 (£4500) in pre and post season, and up to €12000 (£10000) in high season in Croatia. Prices in Greece and Italy this year are very similar, ranging from €6000 (£5050) to €11,500 (£9600). Keep in mind that these are bareboat prices. Skipper, crew, and extras can be ordered additionally. In high season, daily skippers rates can range from €180 to €200 (average £160), and daily hostesses rates from €120 to €150 (average £110) per day.

This beauty is not only spacious and comfortable, she offers impressive designs throughout the interior and exterior. The salon is large and airy, the designs are modern and the layout makes the boat very functional. Each part of the catamaran was designed to perfection and space was used up wisely, creating the ideal catamaran for your sailing holiday.

Lagoon 46 catamaran (2021) 'Clearlake III'

Clearlake’s features include:

Starting at the stern.

Upon boarding, after a swim or from the dock, life aboard is accessed from wide-open transoms with just two shallow steps up into the cockpit. This Lagoon 46 catamaran also has the tender-lift option which, when the dinghy is launched, doubles as a fabulous bathing platform.

The cockpit is well thought out and spacious. When the cockpit table is not in use, the leaves fold down and there is an ingenious sliding seat that folds beneath the table, allowing access to the flybridge on the port side, as well as access from the starboard side.

Additionally, in the cockpit, there is a front-loading fridge, a sink, and plenty of storage on the starboard side. To port, there is an extensive countertop with a built-in icebox.

The Interior

Clearlake’s saloon is sumptuous and spacious. The galley is exceptional with copious storage and counter space, with a big sliding window that opens to the cockpit.

Natural light streams through the wrap-around vertical windows. There is a retractable sash window forward for maximum ventilation, as well as for passing drinks to the forward cockpit. Sinking into the saloon settees, you have to remind yourself you are on a yacht.

Fully air-conditioned, with a generator, extensive fridge, and freezer space –  this catamaran is designed for easy living.

There are three cabins in the hulls, each with en-suite electric heads and showers.  Berths are large doubles in all cabins. There is bountiful storage in hanging lockers and cupboards, leaving cabins clear of clutter.

Large fixed hull windows with opening portlights bring natural light in abundance and great ventilation.

There are two single berths in the bows, accessed from the deck.

Under sail, the Lagoon 46 catamaran has easy sail handling and manoeuvring as well as optimized performance. There is a high aspect mainsail, with a traveller adjusted using an electric captive winch.

The mast step is positioned further aft, reducing pitching and allowing a larger self-tacking jib, which is set on a curved track for added smoothness through the tack or gybe.

The narrower hulls below the waterline create less drag, and with a hull chine, there is no compromise to interior space. So better performance and better accommodation!

With autopilot, the latest B&G navigation equipment, and electric winches where needed, she can be sailed comfortably short-handed. With cable steering, the helm feedback is excellent.

Up forward the transition from the trampoline to the forward cockpit area is flush. There is no stepping down, and the cowling for the anchor windlass doubles as a great tabletop.

Under power, the yacht is smooth and responsive. The upgraded Yanmar 57 HP diesel pushes her under power comfortably at over 8 knots cruising speed.

All the tradition, heritage and quality of Lagoon have been encapsulated in the Lagoon 46, and with advanced design performance and superior comfort, you are assured of a sensational sailing vacation.

Find Your Rate Check out our special offers

Did you know Horizon’s charters start and finish at noon? This means we can get you out sailing your first afternoon after your briefings – remember to watch your video briefings to speed up your check out! At the end of your trip, you sail back to Nanny Cay to refuel and debrief before your noon departure. This gives you a full 6 nights/7 days chartering around our beautiful islands, unlike some companies that start at 5pm, meaning you will have to sleepaboard* at the docks, and then finish at 10am, again meaning you will probably have to stay overnight on the docks the night before you leave to fly home.

*If available, a sleep aboard can be added the night before your charter start for a small supplement, boarding your yacht after 5pm.

Our standard charter rates are applicable for charters of 5 days or more up to a maximum of five weeks. For a tailored quote for charter durations outside this range please contact our reservations team who will be pleased to assits.

Weekly rates (full 7 days / 6 nights) are listed above as daily rates. Charters start and finish at noon. Our minimum charter duration requirement is 5 nights.

Super Tender your Vacation with Horizon Yacht Charters!

Licensed for 6 persons, this 15ft RIB with 60HP Yamaha outboard will get you and your crew to snorkelling spots and the beach in style and comfort.

Make your charter yacht vacation a breeze – enjoy the comfort of being able to tie up your yacht for the night and then continue exploring the surrounding bays! You can pick up your mooring ball at the Bight and then head to the Indians or the Caves for a snorkel. If you visit the Dogs, there’s no need to choose only one snorkel spot for your lunch stop, zip around them all!  A swim ladder makes boarding easy from the water.

For popular spots where it’s trickier to find a mooring, the RIB is the perfect alternative. Settle into Great Harbour, Jost Van Dyke for the night and then take the RIB to White Bay for the afternoon to enjoy painkillers without the hassle of finding a mooring ball or having to move your yacht for the night.

The North Sound boasts a selection of some of the best dining options in the BVI. There’s no need to settle for only one spot when you have the RIB. Pick up provisions from Leverick Bay, enjoy the plunge pool at Nova in Deep Bay, and then zip back to the sound for sundowners at Saba Rock before enjoying dinner at The Bitter End.

If you have a mix of snorkelers, beachgoers, shoppers and sailors onboard then give your group flexibility by taking the standard dinghy included in your charter as well. This will also remove the need to make multiple dinghy trips ashore for larger groups.

Get more out of your sailing vacation with Horizon- ‘Super Tender’ it!
